In a single transaction, participants can register themselves, another individual, or a group. Confirmation emails will be sent automatically. You will NOT receive a confirmation in the mail.

Payments may also be made by mailing a check to Wisconsin EMS Association, 26422 Oakridge Dr., Wind Lake, WI 53185-1402. If you mail in a check your registration will not be completed until payment is received and processed. Therefore, please allow extra time for mailing as registration fees increase after January 10, 2013. Payments by mail may not be received and processed on time if sent after January 23, 2013. After that date all registrations must be completed at the door. Failure to correctly complete the online registration form or include the correct fees may result in a delay of your registration. Cancellations: If you are not able to attend, a 50% refund will be issued if requested in writing by January 10, 2013. Absolutely no refunds will be allowed after this date – NO exceptions! Tuition may be transferred to another person for a $20 processing fee. Continuing Education Credits Continuing Education: Seven hours on Wednesday and Thursday and six hours on Friday and Saturday of continuing education credits have been applied for through the Wisconsin Division of Health, National Registry of EMTs, and the Illinois Division of EMS and Highway Safety, in partnership with North Lake County EMS System - Vista Health System. The Illinois site code applies to Basic, Intermediate, Paramedic, and RN providers in the state of Illinois. It is the attendee’s responsibility to obtain a STAMPED ticket at the end of each session. This will be the only CEU certificate that you will receive and will be your only means of providing proof you have attended the sessions and received credit. Because of the importance of the CEU certificates, attendees must be present for the entire session to be awarded credit hours. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start of the session or leave 15 prior to the end of the session, no CEU credit will be given. Lunch Please read carefully as lunch options have changed. A variety of lunch options are now available. Lunch tickets may be purchased for an additional cost of $15/per day and must be purchased at the time of registration. Similar to previous years, lunch on Wednesday and Thursday will be served in Ballroom D. À la carte items may also be purchased from food carts located near the ballroom. New this year, lunch on Friday and Saturday will be served in the expo hall inside the Delta Center. On Friday and Saturday, attendees may choose from a variety of options including 1) A buffet-style meal for $15; 2) À la carte items from food carts; 3) From the concession stands conveniently located inside the exhibit hall. Please plan accordingly as buffet-style meal tickets must be purchased in advance along with your conference registration. À la carte items are available without pre-purchase on all four days of the conference. For a detailed menu, please see page 8.

Conference Hotels The Working Together conference returns to downtown Milwaukee with two of the city’s best hotels offering over 1,000 rooms to conference attendees including one of Wisconsin’s largest hotels as its headquarters, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center. With more than 700 rooms, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center is the largest facility in Milwaukee and one of the largest in Wisconsin. The Hilton will provide the bulk of lodging for the conference, with comfortable, luxurious rooms at a great hotel rate. Plus, take advantage of Paradise Landing, Milwaukee’s only indoor waterpark, also at a reduced rate. The Thursday Champagne reception, Thursday night dance party, and Saturday night post party will all take place at the Hilton. Plus, as attendees start to arrive and check in, the Hiton will be a hub of activity on Wednesday night, making it a great place to stay during Working Together 2013. The special hotel conference rate includes free parking for one vehicle (a $24 per night value) and a $5 daily rate per person for admission to the waterpark open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition to the Hilton, a block of rooms has been reserved at the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee. The Hyatt is where the Friday night Yee Haw Hoe-Down will take place and will also become a hub of activity housing hundreds of conference participants. Skywalks connecting the Hilton Hotel directly to the Delta Center and to the Hyatt Regency Hotel will be open late each night. Like the Hilton, the Hyatt includes free parking for one vehicle during your stay as part of the room rate. All room blocks will be released on January 10, 2013.
